As I prepare for the arrival of Baby #2, I’m trying to get ahead of the game by stocking my freezer with easy meals. It requires a little bit of prep now, but I will be so thankful when I can pull a prepared dinner from the freezer in the coming months. Pasta and casser …

Over the last month, Crystal Faye has quickly become one of my favorite online boutiques for all things adorable. I’m still obsessing over my monogrammed water bottle, recipe binder, and Nina necklace (I wear it at least three times a week). And how perfect is my new ph …

I’m 38 weeks tomorrow. I had Julia at 38 weeks and 3 days (granted it was an emergency c-section, I wasn’t actually in labor). If that’s the case this time around I’ll be having a baby on Friday. Zoinks! I’ve been living up the last few weeks of …

Some weeks I have ideas for posts coming out of my ears. This isn’t one of those weeks. We have been so busy that my feet have barely touched the ground. I’m just going to push through this case of writer’s block and hope I find some inspiration soon. In the …

Dear Molly, As you anticipate the arrival of your second baby, I wanted to share some wisdom. I was in your shoes not that long ago, so I know how you’re feeling now and how you will be feeling upon the baby’s arrival. I hope you’ll heed my advice and know y …
